Presidential Preferences.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 9.-The National
Colored Press Association met here
this afternoon with some Of the lead
ing colored newspaper representatives
of the country present. In conversa-
ton with reporter Professor Murray,
editor of the st. Louis Advance, said:
"As between the two leading candi-
dates for the presidency on the Repub-
llcan ticket, / think the majority of
the colored race prefer sherman. 1t
would be great political mistake to
nominate Blaine again but | fear the
party will fall into it. As far as l am
concerned / will favor to the nomina-
ton of Sherman, aud If Blaine is NOM
mated il will be very serious question
as to whether / will support him or
Cleveland. My present inclination Is
to vote for the latter, although l have
always been Republican. Mr.. Cleve-
land is certainly q fairer and better
man for the colored race than Mr..
Blaine and he has shown II by his Off.
cial actions. His fight for Matthews
won him laurels, aud other matters
have shown his sentimentsi In regard te
us. 1t wddld be decidedly better fol
the colored race IL they were more di
vided politically than following blindly
wherever they led. The idea Of Blaine
and ingalls, that colored man canno'
be Democrat without being mons
trosity is being strongly condemned by
progressive men Of our race. You
find that In the eastern states leading
negroes think ~ I do on political ques
tions and In those states that votes
count"
Mr.. Dan A. Rudd, editor Of the
American Catholic Tribune Of Cincin.
natl expressed somewhat similar views
In regard 10 Blaine. He strongly fav.

Baroness Burdett-Coutts.

l heard yesterday the true story of
the reasons which led to the remark
able marriage of Baroness Burdett-
Coutts to Ashmead Bartlett, of Phila-
delphia. There never has been any
satisfactory explanation of this mar
riage. The Baroness was over 60 at
the time of the wedding. The bride
groom was less than 80. | saw the
two at the opera the other night. The
Baroness is q stout heavy-faced, Ger
man-looking woman with kindly ex-
preston. Her brown hair shows as
yet little signs of grey. She was.
dressed in black, and wore Il small
white lace cap on the top of her head.
Her husband is fresh-faced, young
looking man. He is blonde, with
regular features. His face is smooth
shaven, with the exception of red
dish brown mustache. The husband
and wife were accompanied by a very
handsome-l looking, slim, proud-appear-
ing brunette with blush black hair,
and the most lovely fresh complexion.

attention to the husband Of the Baro-
ness. He was very attentive to his
wife, paying her about the same devo-
ton that an affectionate son would
pay to his mother. =
this marriage is to be found in THE
reading of the will of the Duchess Of
st. Adams. This will provides hat
all of the great property pf Coutts,
the banker, which was left by him to-
his wife, the Duchess above mention
ed, should descend to the Baroness
Burdett- Coutts, subject to the follow
ing conditions: If she married, and
her husband attached the name of
Burdett-C outts to his. then that would
constitute him the heir in a direct line
to his wife, and that in the event of
her death and his subsequent mar
rage, if he still retained tue name Of
Burdett-C outts, the children of this
second marriage would become the
heirs, to the exclusion of any of the
other relatives. 1t is said that the
Baroness Burdett-Coutts fell out with
her relatives and that this marriage
was simply the result of Il well con-
sidered plan to defeat by any posi-
bilty this great property ever going to
any of them. 1t is said that the mar
riage that she has made with young
Ashmead Bartlett is Il marriage liz
| mere name She selected him on ac-
count of the belief that she herself
| would live for many years. She
wanted a young man reasonably GER
tain to outlive her, and yet be young
enough to marry again. When she
dies, if he carries out the agreement
| already made with her, he will marry
as soon afterward as possible, so as to
provide for a family of heirs which
will cut off every one of her present
relatives. The Queen, who used to be
very friendly to the Baroness Burdett-
Coutts Oh account of her great chAri-
ties, never approved of this marriage
| and has not been on friendly terms
with her since.-T. G. CRAWFORD, an the

CHAPTER xII.-THE SISTER QUEENS.

The big rowing-boat proceeded on up the
cutting that ran almost to the foot of the
vast stairway, and then halted at q flight
of steps leading to the landing place. Here
the old gentleman disembarked, and in
invited us to do likewise, which, having no
alternative, and being nearly starved, we
did without misunderstanding our rifles
with MS, Ii Sweyer As each of Us landed,
our guide again laid his fingers on his lips
in salutation and bowed deeply, at the
same time ordering back tie crowds who
had assembled to gaze on us. The last to
Ieave the canoe was the girl we had picked
out of the water, for whom her companion
was waiting Before she went away, she
kissed my hand, / suppose as token OF
gratitude for having saved her from the
fury of the hippopotamus; and it seemed
to me that she had by this time quite got
over any fear she may have had OF US,
and was by no means anxious to return IN
such n hurry to her lawful owner. At
any rate, she was going TO kiss Goods hand
as well as mine, when the young man IN
terfered and led her off. As soon as we
were on shore, number Of the men who
had rowed the big boat took possession OF
our few goods and chattels, and started
with them up the splendid staircase, ouI
guide indicating to us by means of motions
that the things were perfectly safe. This
done, he turned to the right and led the
way to small house, which was, as az
terward discovered, an inn. Entering
straight into a good-siZed room, we saw
that a wooden table was already furnished
with food, presumably in preparation fol
u.s. Here our guide motioned US TO bt

the table. We did not require SECOND
invitation, but at once fell to rayenouSl,
